The nation's leading junior college rusher needed only two days to decide where he wanted to play college football after receiving his offer.

Gulf Coast Community College three-star running back Vick Ballard picked up a scholarship offer from Mississippi State on Sunday and made his commitment Tuesday night.

"I went to their game Saturday and I liked the atmosphere," Ballard said. "They've got three senior running backs graduating and with me coming in so I know I will get some playing time. That's a good thing for me coming in with only two years left to play."

The 5-foot-11, 207-pounder currently leads the country among the junior college ranks with 880 yards on 137 carries and nine touchdowns for the 4-1 Bulldogs. He currently ranks second averaging 176 yards per game.
